I currently have the CDX-M30 on a 05 FLHT, It works GREAT. The radio has more than enough power with the factory speakers. It plays CD-Rs, MP3s about anything you put in it. It is very easy to setup and operate. I also purchased the small remote control. It was easy to mount on the handlebar and works great. Would I buy this radio again? You bet i would, in a heart beat.

I used this on my boat and I am getting another!
I had 6 speakers attached and no power problems.
Mounting was a breeze. I love the options for electric light colors and anti-theft options.
